Not another one!
I stare up at the huge pirate ship obstacle course.

The whole camp was here(our entire grade).
Miguel placed his hand in my shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'll go with you."
I grin. "You don't have to."

He shakes his head, "you're my girlfriend. And I'll be there for you no matter what! I promise." He gives me a side hug.

In the far corner of my eye, I can see Dory glaring at me.

Dory is in my math class, and she has a very aggressive and rude attitude. Let's just say she has anger issues. A lot.

One of the counselors looks across the crowd.
He looks at me and smiles.
"You! C'mere!" He points at me, and waves me over.

I squeak. I look at Miguel. He squeezes my hand, not wanting to let go.

I take a deep breath.

"Let's just get this over with." I murmur.

He adjusts my harness and clips in the wire. He then gives it a firm tug.
"Okay, I want you to be my example. You're going to climb onto level one, and you're going to stop at the end of that tightrope."

He puts the clips onto the wire for me to hang on to. I nod, and make my way up. I could feel everyone's eyes on me.

I take a sharp breath as I miss one footing.

Heights, again!? You've got to be kidding. At least the food here's amazing.

He starts to take volunteers.

He picks Jorge.
